  1. I have an original AMT '67 Cougar kit on the bench. I have robbed some parts from an AMT '69 Cougar XR-7 kit issued in 1977. The '67 body is solid as a rock. Very sturdy. Easy to work with, as I hacked off the top with a razor saw, having no problems. The body in the '69 kit is so badly warped, I won't be able to use it. When I pick it up from the box, it wants to try to just fold up on me. So, that is a difference in styrene from '67 to '77. I, too, have noticed a difference in the styrene through the years, as well as a difference in styrene from one manufacturer to the other. They don't all seem to use the same formula.
  2. Going north...about 45 minutes. Going south...about 45 minutes.
  3. Cool looking MOPAR!
  4. Having one that close would be detrimental to my bank account!
  5. Same here! LOL
  6. Shouldn't be a mountain for a climber like you! HAHA
  7. Well said, Bill!!! LOL
  8. It's also quite possible that the Chebbie had some engine "enhancements" done prior to the making of this video. I didn't see the disclaimer stating that "No muscle cars were harmed during the production of this film!"
  9. The coupe is really sharp looking!

    Outstanding T/A! Great color, and very clean build!
  11. I take it with a grain of salt. Too much opportunity to rig the whole thing. Why didn't they run the F-85 and the Buick? And....where were the mighty MOPARS?? LOL
  12. This right here says HEMI: https://www.revell.com/products/70-dodge-charger-r-t-stock.html

  16. Fabulous work on this motorvator! TOP SHELF engine, Steve!
  17. Even two different shades of gray primer will make a difference! I built two Chevy pickups at the same time a few years back. I used gray primer on one, red primer on the other. I shot a Burnt Orange Duplicolor paint over both trucks. They do have a slightly different look to them, especially outside, in the natural sunlight.
  18. until after Halloween
